There are two bird hides at the end of the Swan Lake track and boardwalk. These offer great views of two active areas on the southern arm of the lake. Best time is late afternoon when there's a lot of activity there and the sun is behind you.

Hi Ian, looks kike you had a good time at Phillip Island, did you see the mutton birds?
ReplyDeleteHi Wampy, we were staying at Surf Beach which is shearwater central. Thousands of them flying in at dusk - spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThanks for these Ian, especially the musk duck & chat. I was there a few weeks later and was expecting more water:
